प्रश्न

A student gets 31% marks in an examination but fails by 12 marks. If the pass percentage is 35%, find the maximum marks of the examination.

योग

उत्तर

Let the maximum marks in the exam be ‘x’

Pass percentage is given as 35%

∴ Pass mark = `35/100 xx x = 35/100 x`

Student gets 31% marks = `31/100 xx x = 31/100 x`

But student fails by 12 marks → meaning his mark is 12 less than pass mark.

∴ `31/100 x = 35/100 x - 12`

∴ `35/100 x - 31/100 x` = 12

∴ `(35x - 31x)/100` = 12

⇒ `(4x)/100` = 12

∴ x = `(12 xx 100)/4`

= 300

Maimum mark is 300
